Cross Stitch and Craft Cafe 2020

Fab card nmm, worth the BABS! I am going great guns with PLSF. Might finish it tonight HOWEVER will probably run out of B5200 - I ordered a new skein to finish the confetti stitches on Christmas Pots but I’m not sure it was 8m as came from an online supplier without tabs. Will see later if it will s-t-r-e-t-c-h far enough. 

Thank you for the signpost to Durene’s FB page Flat Eric. I’ve linked up. 

Took my Christmas Pots to the framers on Saturday. Will be ready in about 3-4 weeks. So excited 
Have a good day all

Need to fill in with Snow White and finish the sea on bottom right. There’s also a tiny bit of BABS

Coxy that looks amazing. Lovely stitching. Are you pleased with it? 

I’ve been happily stitching on the sampler and have finished the carrying roll for GD. See photo.

 . I’ve cut out all the felt for the five finger puppets: chick, frog, ladybug, bee and rabbit. These are all hand-stitched and embellished with buttons, ric rac, ribbons & mostly French knots for the eyes. I’m rubbish at French knots!!! They each sit behind the green pocket and then it rolls up and is tied with the green ribbon. Apologies I took the photo on my ironing board and it’s a bit distracting.

That's come together quickly Coxy, I love it

Love the animal fabric charly27, can't wait to see it with the finger puppets.

Speaking of ladybird, look what we spotted on one of our sunflowers the other day

Lovely photo nmm 
The roll looks fab Charley. Looking forward to seeing the finger puppets with embellishments 
I finished PLSF as far as possible last night - sea, BABS, white infill, but as expected I’ve run out of B5200. Will check stash before ordering. I also need to look for a new project - plenty to choose from - just need to make up my mind. 

Dune crochet blanket now 37/100 (74/200) done. It’s coming together slowly but looks lovely!
Have a good day all

My next project is this and I have all the colours it needs plus fabric - yippee!

Well done on completing PLSF, it looks fab!!! Great stash busting on the new project, that's what i'm trying to do use up what I have. Working on my mums card now its a DMC mini daffodils kit that I got last year at a car boot.

Congratulations Coxy PLSF looks great. Bet you’re so pleased. You’ve both started new projects - jealous. Love the daffodils nmm. Good find at a car boot. Finished the chick but only cross stitched last night. Bit more this evening.

Saw that Flat Eric - it’s very cute! 

Love the daffodils nmm - got to love a car boot bargain!
Will be starting A Pair Tree this evening as DH is having a socially distant fire pit in the garden with a couple of mates. We’ve been watching Killing Eve series 3 this week. That Jodie Comer is so good!

Have a good day all
